The rector and his family are central figures in the life of any parish. Fr. Peter
and Happy Ingeman bring our church family together with the warmth and
caring of good friends as well as
spiritual leaders. The congregation has
been treated to glimpses of Peter and
Happy’s life through Peter’s sermons
and Sunday School stories.
Did you miss the Sunday when he
told the story about the garden at
Nashotah House or the one about
turning down an Army assignment in
Hawaii? Would you like to know more?
Peter was born in Chicago, Illinois,
and raised on Army posts, primarily in
the Washington, DC area. He is the only
child of Milton Joseph and Ellen Stenson Ingeman of Norwegian ancestry. He
attended college in Munich, Germany and at Rutgers University.
“Happy and I met in college on a double date, each of us dating someone
else; we liked each other better than those guys. We have been married 47 ½
years,” said Fr. Ingeman.
He enlisted in the United States Army in 1961 at Fort Bragg, NC. After
graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania, he received a direct commission in 1964, and was assigned to Ft. Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas. During
his 23-year career, he was an occupational therapist treating upper extremity
wounds during Vietnam; sent for a graduate degree in hospital administration
at Baylor University; served at HQ, Department of the Army in Washington,
DC; Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, KS; consultant to
the Surgeon General for Southeastern US and Central America, based at Fort
Gordon in Augusta, GA; and served in South Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina
(2), Texas (2), California, Germany, Washington, DC, Kansas, and Georgia.
“I was first called to the Vocational Deaconate in Augusta, GA. I recognized
and acknowledged a call to the priesthood while serving Deacon's Mass at a
church in Harlem, GA two years later,” he said.

Vestry Report from the November 2008 Meeting
• Received the Treasurer's report.
The church budget indicates
good cash flow and expense
management. Ninety-nine
pledge cards for 2009 have been
received, and it appears that
total pledges may top 2008.
• Received report from the
Facilities Committee. The
second artist drawing for Phase
I of building planning is
expected soon. A presentation
may be ready for the December
vestry meeting, which will
include current and newly
elected vestry members.
• Received report from Junior
Warden. The Louttit Hall
handicap ramp is almost
complete. There are some
individuals/organizations that
have shown interest in moving
the Miller House, but no final
decision has been reached.
• Voted to accept the cleaning
contract for all church
buildings from Carl
Copeland, resulting in a
significant monthly savings
over the current cleaning
arrangements.
• Received the results of the
vestry elections. Tammy
Borders, Dave Clark, Jerry
Demott, John Hiers and Mike
Tanner will begin three year
terms beginning January 2009.
A joint meeting of current and
new vestry members is planned
for December 15.
Pepi Nelson, 2008 Senior Warden and
Clint Beeland, 2008 Junior Warden
• Discussed plans for a special
issue of The Vineyard that will
showcase the parish facility
needs that were identified
during meetings with Bargainier
and Associates. The publication
date is planned for early 2009.

Father Ingeman regarding
delegates for Diocesan
convention in Albany, February
5-7, 2009. Walter Hobgood,
Molly Greneker and Phyllis

Words for Season of Christmas
Annunciation
Celebration
Nativity
From the Rector
CALLED BY A STAR
e celebrate the feast of The Epiphany on
January 6, the twelfth day of Christmas.
The Epiphany marks the revelation of the
Messiah, the Christ, to the world of gentiles. Wise
Men travel far from eastern lands following the light
of a star to find Him. Who were they? Perhaps they
were Mesopotamian astronomers, ones who
watched the skies and detected the slightest change in the heavens. Perhaps they were astrologers who saw
omens and portents in the arrangement of the constellations. Perhaps they were the Three Kings of the
beloved hymn. We know them only as The Wise Men bringing gifts to honor the one they would find at the
end on their journey. Consider that journey. What sets them on the road? It’s a sense of something important
happening, some great new thing that has come into the world, and that sense changes their lives. Once
having that sense, they are drawn westward by a deep desire to learn about its source, to be a part of the great
event unfolding. They simply cannot stay away. The journey isn’t easy. The distance is great, and there may be
detours and setbacks, tough going, but they persist until they find their goal. Having arrived, they recognize
the Messiah, even in the highly improbable person of the small Jewish child in a hovel. It’s all there; the call,
the journey, and the presence of Jesus. The Epiphany is not just an event of long ago; it’s our story and the
story of Christians throughout the ages.

The Vineyard, p. 3, January 2009
Father Peter and Happy Ingeman
continued from page 1
Peter attended seminary at
Nashotah House in Wisconsin, the
Anglo-Catholic seminary of the
Episcopal Church, strongly
recommended by Bishop Reeves.
It proved to be a perfect fit. He
served as a Deacon while in
seminary and as Chaplain at St.
John's Military Academy.
Fr. Ingeman’s first position was
assistant here at Christ Church
and Chaplain to VSU. Then he was
called to St. Francis, Savannah, for
11 years. He and Happy returned
to Valdosta in 2000. He has served
as Chair of the Diocesan
Commission on Ministry; chair,
Commission on Liturgy; member
of the Diocesan Council; member
of the Diocesan Ecclesiastical
Court; Dean of the Savannah
Convocation, and Deputy to
General Convention.
His favorite hymn is "Brightest
and Best of the Stars of the
Morning." His best advice to
brides and grooms is “Never lose
your sense of humor!”
Asked for one type of service he
would like to see Christ Church
provide, he said, “an Episcopal
School through grade 12.”
Happy Ingeman was born to
Harry and Marian Plews in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and
raised in New Jersey from the age
The Vineyard, p. 4, January 2009
of seven. She has three sisters:
Nancy, Karen, and Linda, and a
brother named Bob. She attended
Douglass College, the Women's
College of Rutgers.
Happy was called Happy from
very early childhood; a name that
Peter says is, “an amazing bit of
prescience!”
Her favorite US Army station
was Landstuhl im Pfalz, Germany,
where she had a chance to visit
Peter's Norwegian relatives, travel
all over and ski in the Alps. “We
showed our boys that people are
people no matter where you live,”
she said.
Her favorite anecdote about
moving involved the move to
Leavenworth, Kansas from
Washington during a strike. “We
waited a long time to get our
furniture, cooked in an electric fry
pan, had a coffee pot, and slept on
the floor in sleeping bags. Peter
suggested that we row down the
Missouri River, pick up our things
and row them back. We didn't do
that. Everything came...
eventually,” she said.
Her best advice for moving?
“Do not let the movers take the lid
off your flour canister. Always be
sure you have a change of clothing
for every member of the family
with you at all times.” Happy's
luggage did not arrive when she
landed in Germany. It came on a
later flight.
Happy and Peter have an
elaborate miniature Christmas
Village collection that was started
by Peter's secretary Vicki in
Savannah who gave them a church
building their first Christmas there
and every year thereafter. “We
caught the bug after she gave us
our first little group of people,”
said Happy.
She claims her interest in
NASCAR is purely scientific. “Not
being a driver or having a
scientific bent, I am fascinated by
the pit crews and all they do to
keep the cars going in all
conditions. I do think the
‘gophercam’ is cute.”
Happy went to seminary with
Peter, attending all classes except
Ascetical Theology and Hebrew.
Peter and Happy have two
sons: older son Bill who lives in
Japan, and whose children are
Peter and Sigrid; and younger son
Steve, who lives in Virginia with
his wife Lara and children Erik
and Adele.

Curious Country Customs
(David & Charles, 2007)
By Jeremy Hobson
Ever been dwile flonking? Or
ever follow the Guizer Jarl and his
army of Vikings and their longship?
In this immensely readable little
volume, Jeremy Hobson gleefully
details a host of weird and
wonderful traditions from the
British Isles. We read of the Shrove

who wear turbans, kilts, and clogs;

and of those who caper about in
reindeer horns. We learn to watch
the sun itself dance on Easter
Sunday and to beware of being
“gowked” on April Fool’s Day; and
we are introduced to cheese-rolling,
well-dressing, rush-bearing, and
swan-upping. Clearly, there are
more ways than days in the year to
celebrate the seasons! There are
recipes, too, for Furmitty, a Good
Friday dish; for Star-Gazey Pie
(pilchards in milk, covered with
pastry); and for a sticky toffee called
Yellowman, and much more.
Most of these customs are rooted

The 2009 Christ Episcopal Church Vestry
eet the 2009 Vestry for
Christ Episcopal Church.
The congregation elected
five new members in November
by written ballot to serve a threeyear term along with the ten
vestry members who have one or
two years remaining. The 15member group meets on the third
Monday of the month at 5:30 pm
in the Parish Hall. The vestry
meetings are open to all
parishioners, and any parishioner
may request an item be placed on
the vestry agenda before the
meeting. The vestry welcomes the
presence of the members of the
parish at all meetings.
At the December 15 meeting, the
vestry adopted a budget based on the
recent stewardship campaign and
heard a presentation by the Barganier
Sims consultants on planning for
future growth and building needs.
They presented a new drawing for
consideration (See p. 10). At the
January meeting the vestry will elect
a Senior Warden, Junior Warden,
Secretary (Clerk) and Treasurer to
serve for calendar year 2009.

Wilby Coleman’s Metal Sculpture
Featured in New Book, Irony
Irony
n the “straightforward” foreward to his new book, Irony,
Wilby Coleman describes his evolution from the practice Wilby Coleman
of law to dabbling in art and blacksmith work, and finally
to full-time and over-time creation of metal sculpture. The
hardcover book, published by Snake Nation Press and
printed in Valdosta by Colson Printing Company, features 127 of Coleman’s sculptures,
with text of fascinating stories of construction, exhibitions, and commentary on the work
as well as photographs of the remaining 109 pieces on two DVDs, one for television
Wilby and Gloria Coleman display and one for high resolution files to display on a computer.
“Themes in my work are taken from science, mythology, religion (or lack of it), astronomy, old jokes, songs,
common phrases, cartoons, history, literature, and just about everything. From lessons of life, law practice, and
much reading, I have accumulated a lot of totally useless facts. Titles are replete with irony, puns, double entendres,
and layers of meaning, so that many of my works can be found to be funny by an eight-year-old, a 12-year-old, and
an adult—all for different reasons,” said Coleman.
Julius Ariail photographed the majority of the 236 sculptures, and Julia Ariail designed the graphic layout of the
book. One of Mike Tanner’s photographs of the construction of “Blades of a Feather” appears on an introductory
page. Along with the Price-Campbell Foundation, Blake Ellis supported the book’s production, and John and Phyllis
Hiers and Barbara Passmore proofread the book before publication. Griff Holland worked with the Ariails to
position the sculptures so they could be photographed. Marshall Parks takes full credit for taking Wilby to his first
blacksmith workshop. Many Christ Church parishioners attended the December 1 book signing at the Turner Center
for the Arts. The book is available for $56 including tax and shipping from Snake Nation Press on the Web at
<www.snakenationpress.org> or by calling Editor Roberta George at 242-1503.

flow
• Building cost estimates
• Prioritization of buildings
and phases of construction
According to Clint Beeland, 2008
Junior Warden, master planning
should be completed during the first
quarter of 2009.
Please contact any Facilities
Committee Member or Vestry

Here is a picture that I said
I would send. Also I am

supplies to the Iraqi children.
Letter from an 18-year old Iraqi girl
It’s such a great honor for me to represent my people and
thank you for all the welfare you do to my country.
It’s simple things that can make the child smile. But
making the child smile and leaving him happy is the greatest
thing that ever can happen.
When the troops came to Iraq for the first time, all the
people thought that they were occupation forces who came to
kill and steal the oil. But because of the welfare that your
organization do and the other organizations, most of the
people had changed their points of view and the way they
think of the American Soldiers and America in general.
I would love to tell you that because of what your
organization had gave to those poor or underprivileged
children a lot of people now are praying that every single
American Soldier go back home safe and I’m one of those
people.
And finally, I thank God for giving me the chance to thank
you for what you did to my country and my people.
